Chapter 25: PTSD Attack

It was early morning, Ruhana woke up and freshens up. She then moves out of the room. She stops in front of Manvi's room and finds her still sleeping under the sedative effect.

She moves to the main door unlocks it and picks up the newspaper.

She closes the door and places the newspaper on the table. She went to the kitchen and saw Vineet present there.

He hadn't slept the whole night as she saw him changing position during the sleep. She asked "Vineet soye nahi ho raat ho thik se..."

"Hum toh bas kal raat thik se nahi soye hai Ruu... hamari beti toh jaane kitni raatein nahi soyi hogi..." he said.

"Janti hun main.. Jo hua use nahi badal sakte hai lekin aage jo hoga wo toh hamare faisle pe depend karta hai na?" she asked.

He nodded affirmatively. He gives up the coffee mug and both of them move out of the kitchen.

They sat down on the couch and sip the coffee. Ruhana asked "kal raat police station gaye they?"

"Haa.. FIR kar di hai maine... legal action lega bahut zaroori hai" he said.

Ruhana was worried about Manvi, he looks at her and asked "kya hua??"

"Mannu ki fikar ho rahi hai mujhe Vineet... bahut bada dhakka laga hai use inn sabse.. Bachpan se usne humhe dekha hai! Hamari shaadi dekhi hai samjhi hai hamare beech pyaar dekha hai! Yahi sab dekhke usne bhi sapne sajaye they... aur uss Deep ne sab tod diye! Meri beti ko... tod diya usne" she breaks downs as she saw her wounds closely yesterday.

Vineet pulls her into his embrace and consoles her. He rubs his hand on her arm lightly and placed a soft kiss on her head.

"Himmat rakho sab thik ho jayega..." he assured her he will fix everything.

Ruhana looked up at him and smiled "hmm.. hum milke thik karenge haina?" 

He shook his head positively. 

They heard a loud scream from the room. They got up and rushed toward Manvi's room. She was sitting in the corner and shivering badly. She was looking around and screamed "nahi.. Nahi.. aaah.. Mat maaro please.. Nahi"

Ruhana run and kneels down in front of her. She tries to hold her but she jerks her away. She wasn't in her senses "nahi.. nahi.. Aah nahi" 

Ruhana grab her face in between her hands and said in a calm tone "mannu.. Mannu dekh beta mumma hai"

"Nahi..." she was still imagining Deep beating her up. Vineet was left terrified seeing her condition, a tear escaped down his eyes.

Ruhana shouts a loud and jerks a few times "mannu mannu... dekho idhar mumma hai samne koi nahi hai"

Manvi looks around and realizes this is her own room. She touches her face and indeed it's her mother. She hugs her tightly and bursts out crying loud. Ruhana comforts her and rubs her head "bas bache... mumma hai papa hai"

Vineet goes and gets the glass of water. He comes forward and hands it to Ruhana. She held it and helps Manvi drink it. Her hands shiver to hold the glass and it almost slips from Manvi's hand. Vineet held it and kept it aside.

They waited for her to calm down and after about 10 minutes he breaks the silence "thik ho?" he asked.

She just blinked her eyes, she didn't know what to speak. Ruhana makes her stand and takes her out of the room. Manvi sits on the couch and Vineet kneels down in front of her. He looked up at Ruhana for a moment and blinks her eyes to speak to her. She went to the kitchen to get something for her. 

He again rolled his eyes at his daughter. "I am sorry... papa ne bahut badi galti kardi" he apologizes to her. 

She lifted her face up and looked at him with teary eyes. "really really sorry beta mujhe agar pata hota wo log aise.. tujhe toh main kabhi ye shaadi nahi karta" 

She nodes in no and hugs him tightly. He smears her head and she said "nahi.. Aap maafi mat mango papa... jo unhone dikhaya wahi aapne samjha aapne toh mera acha hi chah tha na" 

He parts the hug and wipes her tears "Chah tha par kar nahi paaya.. Samajhna chahiye tha tumhara jhooth!" he said.

Manvi didn't want to lie to them but she also didn't want to trouble them. 

He looks at her and said "abhi.. Kuch der mein police aayegi aur tum sach kahogi"

She gets scared, she begins to get anxious and Vineet cups her face "Shh... suno.. Darne ki zaroorat nahi hai! Jabtak tumhare papa aur mumma saath khade hai koi tumhe haath nahi lagayega..."

"Pakka?" she asked his assurance. It is the first time in their life, Manvi asked for assurance from him a second time.

"Haan mannu.. Isliye ab koi jhooth nahi sab sach bolna thik hai na?" he asked softly.

She nodded yes. Ruhana comes out of the kitchen and sits on the couch beside her. She smiles lightly and said "mannu bhook lagi hogi na beta... chalo khalo"

She takes the bite in her hand and forwards it towards her face. She looks at her with teary eyes, she lightly opens her mouth and eats it. She smears her head lightly, Vineet takes another and said "ek bite mere haath se bhi"

"Mr. singhaniya" the voice interuptted.

They look in that direction, and Vineet stands up. He said "Aayie inspector"

The inspector gets inside along with a lady officer. Manvi held Ruhana's hand tightly, Ruhana said "mannu... bas baat karne aaye hai"

"Hum inse akele mein baat kar sakte hai?" The lady inspector asked.

"Sorry sir.. Par ye iss haal mein nahi hai! Aap dekh lijiye kitni darri hui hai" Vineet said.

"Main samajhti hun lekin procedure hai humhe follow karna hoga" the lady said.

Ruhana takes Manvi into the room "mannu... hum bahar hi hai bas baat karni hai thik hai na aur haan ek bhi jhooth nahi hona chahiye" she warned her to be truthful.

She nods yes, Ruhana leaves and the officers go inside the room. The door was halfway opened and RuVi was just standing outside listening to everything.

The lady inspector makes her comfortable first and then questions her. Manvi clutches her dupatta tightly as she remembers the worse night of her life. Tears brim down her eyes, the lady inspector passes her water "Aap pani pijiye..."

She drinks the water with trembling hands. She held her hand and squeezed it lightly "aap dariye mat.. Hum aapki madad hi karne aaye hai! Aap apne maa baap ke ghar hai aur unse zyada sukrakshit jagah duniya mein koi nahi hoti hai"

Manvi blinks her eye for a moment, she recalls how her parents brought her back home, consoled her, and Vineet forced her to file FIR at the police station. She finally speaks up "wo.. Wo"

Tears slips down her eyes, her head began to spin. "Nahi..." as everything flashed in front of her eyes. She gets a PTSD attack again, Ruhana enters the room and said "Inspector please.. Wo abhi iss haal mein nahi hai kuch bhi bata sake aap dekh sakti hai uski haalat"

She loses consciousness and Ruhana lays her down on the bed properly.

"Ji.. main ache se samajh sakti hun! Lekin kya hai na madam aksar maa baap apni complaint wapas le lete hai... samaaj ke dabaav mein aakar! Bhej dete hai apni beti ko wapas uss narak mein... baad mein phir humhe blame kiya jaata hai humne kuch nahi kia" she said.

"Hum aisa kuch nahi karenge! Ye samaaj.. Shaadi ko nibhana inn sabse upar hai hamari beti!" Vineet shouted nearly.

"Fine.. jab aapko lage aapki beti apna statement dene ke halat mein hai humhe phone kar dijiyega! Hum chalte hai" she said and moves out with her colleague.

Sinha House

Deep returns home from the office, Yamini was angrily sitting on the couch "badnaam karke rakha hai teri biwi ne humhe! Kaise bhi karke usko wapas ghar leke aa"

Deep glanced at her and asked "ab kya hua??"

"Uske baap ne complaint ki hai hamare khilaf police station mein" Yamini said.

Deep was shocked hearing that "kyaa??"

"Haa.. lekin abtak usne statement nahi diya hai! Agar uska statement liya gaya toh aa jayegi police humhe arrest karne phir teri behen ki shaadi toot jayegi samjha!" Yamini spoke.

Deep thought for a moment and smiles "Aisa kuch nahi hoga maa.. Koi bhi maa baap apni beti ko shaadi ke baad ghar mein nahi rakhte hai! Aur uski haalat aisi nahi hai ki wo statement de police ko... aap pareshan mat ho.. Kuch din jaane do phir hum khud jayenge usko wapas lene"

Ankush said "dekh Deep... bahu ghar mein honi chahiye! Arohi ki shaadi hai kuch dino mein... sab sawal karenge"

Deep smiles "papa.. Ghar mein toh usko wapas aana hi padega"
